² “Judah mourns
And ^(A)her gates languish;
Her people sit on the ground ^(B)in mourning garments,
And the ^(C)cry of Jerusalem has ascended.

⁴ The roads ^[a]of Zion are in mourning
Because ^(A)no one comes to an appointed feast.
All her gates are ^(B)deserted;
Her priests groan,
Her ^(C)virgins are worried,
And as for Zion herself, it is ^(D)bitter for her.
